The task for the conference is to bring together bench scientists, clinicians, patients and families to generate ideas for novel collaborations and novel research projects that can (afterward) be turned into proposals for funding under the National Institutes of Health's Orphan Diseases Project. I'm looking for examples in which OS has been used by scientists as part of the work of doing science (not examples in which scientists have examined OS). The reason I want this is to demonstrate the utility to the scientists who will choose OS as a method for this conference, and to the scientists who will determine to fund this conference (or not) and to the scientists who will be invited to attend. All of them are likely to be more persuaded of the utility of OS if they see examples in which their peers have successfully used OS, than by examples in social justice, conflict, human development, etc. Best, Bo * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
